Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 18


   The layout of this page is pretty sloppy. You see him dodging the D'varri motherships or whatever, but you probably couldn't tell until I drew your attention to it- now- that he's actually between two of them. That was initially clearer, but you can see I then kind of awkwardly overlaid a speech bubble that he was saying, to justify some parts of his relationship with Ash from here on (namely, why he doesn't want to look at her naked while he himself is perfectly alright with getting naked in front of her.) I guess that's a pretty significant thing, then. Drives on the sidewalk, bursts up a fire hydrant. It's one of those crappy Icelandic ones, eh.

   This guy's hardcore. He can tell if someone's DNA is dissolving just by looking at them. It's probably somehow related to his cyborg eye. His cyborg eye could see it, but his human eye- well, obviously his human eye was behind that beret, but, yeah. His human eye couldn't. That actually explains how he could tell that there were differential fractions encoded into the leaves on the trees of a painting just by looking at it. His eye's Superman.

   Also, aside from that and the Icelanding manor house this dude's apparently got, he's also got an Icelandic safe house with technology that allows you to replace your DNA. How, uh, fancy.

   That's it! This guy doesn't just work for Cystex. This guy is Cystex. He's their CEO or something. That explains why they didn't tell anyone about their discoveries. They didn't need to. He was the only person who needed to know. Adds an interesting layer to the Ash/main character dynamic, that's for sure.
